Selena Gomez is no longer Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s third wheel.
Celebration of Friendship and Fun
On January 13, the Peltz heiress shared a series of photos from her 29th birthday party, cohosted by **Gomez** and her boyfriend **Benny Blanco**. According to Nicola, Blanco took charge of the cooking while all the guests, including Gomez’s little sister Gracie, played games in matching black pajama sets with white lining. The celebration featured a giant cake with Nicola’s face.
“I’m so grateful for all the beautiful and kind people in my life,” Nicola wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “All my best friends surprised me for my birthday with a pj night and we played games (my heaven!) Thank you all so much for making me feel so loved. I love you all so much and thank you **Benny** for making the best food everrrr and you and **Sel** for hosting.”
Evolution of Friendships
Selena Gomez has been playfully referring to her “throuple” with Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham since last January. The trio celebrated their one-year “anniversary” in early December 2023. Brooklyn shared, “[Gomez] says we’re a throuple. She’s such a sweet girl. I love when my wife makes new friends, especially really great friends. We all get along.”
However, their friendship dynamic has clearly shifted since the “#foreverplusone” secretly began dating music producer and fellow foodie **Benny Blanco** over six months ago. Gomez confirmed the relationship with a series of Instagram comments in early December, stating that Blanco is “better than anyone I’ve ever been with.”
While some Selenators still have reservations about the ship, he seems to fit right in with the people who matter most to **Selena Gomez**.
